In 1983, the growing supernatural cinema of writer Stephen King truly showed its teeth with CUJO, a film that took man’s best friend to new heights of relentless terror. Helmed by “Alligator” director Lewis Teague, given a bravura performance by Dee Wallace as a mother in peril, and played with emotionally symphonic realism and ramping electronic terror, CUJO has stood as one of the best, most suspenseful Stephen King adaptations - not only a favorite of fans, but of the author himself.

Now Intrada Records releases a striking new edition of Charles Bernstein’s score, a longtime genre favorite from the composer behind A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, THE ENTITY, DEADLY FRIEND, and APRIL FOOL'S DAY. Restored to its full, fearsome power, CUJO has never sounded more striking.

To celebrate the music’s truly rabid arrival, Creature Features has convened a salute to CUJO, featuring Dee Wallace, Lewis Teague and Charles Bernstein in person. With highlights of the movie, the star and filmmakers of CUJO will talk about creating one of horror’s most harrowing tales of survival in a panel and question and answer session featuring highlights from the film, moderated by CUJO liner note writer Daniel Schweiger.

The CUJO soundtrack salute takes place at Creature Features in Burbank on Saturday, January 16th from 2:00 – 3:15 PM, and will be limited to 50 people, with purchase of the CUJO CD required for seating. A regular, unlimited signing will be held afterwards with Wallace, Teague and Bernstein. Dee Wallace will also be signing fans' photos and memorabilia that fans for a separate fee.


Reserve your CD and place at the Cujo event by calling Creature Features at 818-842-8665 or by email at Cfeatures@gmail.com Out of town fans can order http://creaturefeatures.com/shop/cds/cujo/

CUJO! Been waiting ages for this excellent score to get a proper CD release, and Schweiger penning the liner notes guarantees an entertaining and informative read to go along with it. Bravo, Intrada.

I've had the Cujo promo for ages, but it'd be nice to have a proper CD (without the fucked-up track listing). I'll hold onto the promo for the Covenant music, though. smile

Great. Always loved this scores. Excited to have it [expanded I assume?] and remastered. The promo was mixed very quietly to my ears.

Thanks so much Josh. This CUJO is indeed light years beyond the messed up promo. Over an hour of music that sounds more rabidly awesome than ever (but definitely hold onto that dog of an old cd for The Covenant). Hope to see a bunch of your there, as this promises to be a great event with nearly all of the horror classic's major players. And if you can't make it, you'll still be able to get a signed cd.

Can't wait! Dee Wallace is such a sweetheart. I'm anxious to find out how in the world they made that dog look and act so rabid, they really pulled it off as this movie scared me as a kid immensely.

Can't wait! The only thing that could top this is to unleash a rabid dog in the store during the panel! wink

I myself would've loved Deadly Friend even more, but what the hey, the biggest contributor to the musical legacy of Freddy Krueger (besides J. Peter Robinson) deserves more praise either way.

FANTASTIC RELEASE!

CUJO always has been one of my all-time favorite horror scores. Thank you, Intrada, for releasing this in an expanded version!

Does Intrada ever release titles on a Saturday?

I assumed it would show up on the evening of Monday, 1/18.

As this panel is based on Dee, Lewis and Charles' availability, the CD will be in at Creature Features especially for the event on Saturday.
